Chuyện Tình Núi Brokeback (Tái Bản 2014) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

What struck me in re-reading this book is the depth, subtlety, and power of the set of METAPHYSICAL views in the book and related essays. It turned the paper I was writing from one about the relation of science and democracy really into a paper on the metaphysics of science. Feyerabend's picture is one where science is disunified in results and method. The so-called "scientific world-view" of materialism is a fiction or a prediction about some future results of science, not a consequence of science as it stands. Feyerabend proposes that we take current science seriously and explore what sort of world-view results. The result is not entirely consistent throughout the book. Sometimes, what Feyerabend seems to argue for is Kantian transcendental idealism plus multiple changing categories. Sometimes, it is more like Taoist / Gnostic way/God that cannot be named. The view I like the best is a radical ontological pluralism, a deep abundance of structure and noise, ambiguity, indeterminateness, and malleability, which can successfully yield to a number of conceptual approaches, none of which can adequately capture the whole. ---- Re-reading for a paper I'm writing. I'm sure I'll have more to say along the way. ---- This is Feyerabend's unfinished manuscript published posthumously, along with a collection of later published papers on the theme of the manuscript. Covers greek mythology, philosophy, and medicine, renaissance art, quantum physics, and "Reality." Really interesting read, engaging, demonstrates the sheer breadth and subtlety of Feyerabend's scholarship.

This has to be one of the most difficult books I have ever read. I feel like a real idiot when I see this described as a top novel, and I could barely understand many parts of it. The run-on sentences just don't contribute to a book that makes much sense, quite frankly. For all that-the parts that did make sense we're quite touching and even beautiful. Proust's (and Swann's ) description of love, and their attractions to Odette and Gilberte we're written in ways which we're very human, but henceforth I have never seen described before. For example, when Proust was describing a letter he hoped to receive from Gilberte describing how much she had missed him, he mentioned something along the lines of "I am trying to get the exact words out of my mind that I want her to write, because I know if I think of the exact words she will never write them". That is a thought I have had may whole life, where if I expected something good to happen that exact thing will not happen, yet I have never seen another author describe it as such. As a bonus, Proust's description of Combray is reminscient of Thoreau's decription of Walden. Additionally, the author seems to force us to compare and contrast the loves of (a) Proust and his mother, (B) Swann and Odette and (C) Swann and Gilberte, without drawing any conclusions for us. This is quite interesting, particularly in the different phases of all three love affairs (infatuations) seem to take place in. All in all, an interesting book. It seems like one that might be taught in a college senior-level literature course, because of the inherent road blocks, run-on sentences, contradictions, etc than an easy to read classic such as one by Dickens or Tolstoy.

It is clear that China Miéville is an exceptionally inventive writer. The steam-punk/fantasy world of the city-state New Crobuzon is an extraordinary creation. The world is populated with many sentient species and ethnicities—each with different needs and agendas—all enduring the dominance of a corrupt and incompetent human police state that oppresses and exploits most of even the human population. The varieties of creatures, monsters, and technologies are fascinating. The plot twists and character descriptions rival Dickens. And for these reasons alone this book is worth your time. New Crobuzon is a dark dystopian city that is cruel, grimy, polluted, crime-ridden, loaded with slums, deteriorating, and seems a blight upon its world. It is labyrinthian and architecturally grotesque, and occasionally appalling and awe inspiring. Into this dark environment Miéville introduces unique and memorable protagonists who become wrapped up in a plot that promises depth and complexity but devolves into a hunt for monsters. And for a while this hunt deteriorates into a horror novel. Admittedly, this plot is occasionally elevated by a crafty and enjoyable pseudo-science that seems to recall the best pulp novels and comic books, but with better pseudo-science and cooler steam-punk gadgets. But it is amazing to me that Miéville can so well develop the emotional workings of his major protagonists, but not give the appearance that he cares much for them. The dark, demeaning, and exhausting trials these characters are put through seems to assume a very bleak ontology. This was one of Miéville’s favorite words—it means “the nature of existence”. (view spoiler) Four stars for talent and invention. One star left off because I feel so crummy after reading this. Maybe a month from now I will feel different.
